I know I don't have to tell you this, Sag, but this is hardly something new. Going back to when the Seahawks were perennially awful, the majority of their fanbase (including some good personal friends) has always been distinctively irrational about their team and unable to analyze their own team dispassionately.

Having never lived in LA or STL I don't know if it's the same there or not. But I was just talking with a Rams fan here in GA the other day (bumped into the guy while he was wearing a Faulk "jersey" T-shirt) and he was very analytical about our current situation... even more on the critical/pessimistic end. Made me proud to be a fellow Rams fans. I generally find we are not just homers.
